NYSNA endorses candidates for statewide offices, including seats in the State Assembly and Senate, which are holding elections this November. Candidates are welcome to download, complete and return the attached questionnaire (.pdf format; Adobe Acrobat Reader required), along with a letter requesting endorsement.

Questionnaires will be reviewed by the NYSNA Political Action Committee (PAC) and, along with any other information provided, will be used to determine whether a candidate should receive the Nurses Association's endorsement. The PAC’s recommendations are submitted to NYSNA's Board of Directors for final determination of endorsement. All candidates who apply for endorsement will receive a letter notifying them of the decision in their race. NYSNA's web site will be periodically updated throughout the campaign season with endorsements.

Completed questionnaires may be submitted via fax: 518.782.9533 (Attn.: GOVA), or by mail to NYSNA, Attn: GOVA, 11 Cornell Road, Latham, NY 12110. An electronic version of the questionnaire is available by e-mail. Questions regarding candidate questionnaires or NYSNA’s endorsement process should be directed to 518.782.9400, ext. 283.
